So Many Lies



I like a piece of description of Pam Bondi penned by Steve Schmidt.

Pamela Jo Bondi is a bad acid trip come to life, a powerful clown, a demented skank, and a dark comedy genius who will be laughed at in every room she ever walks into for the rest of her life.

Pam Bondi will die as a disbarred lawyer and a national disgrace, a historic villain and a lawless fascist who covered up the crimes of child rapists, while attempting to destroy American democracy.

Not crazy about Schmidt’s use of the word “skank” – would have preferred “sleaze bag” – but otherwise his description is just fine. I say that because I watched much of the hearing and was struck by and offended by many of her finely honed and demented skills. It was embarrassing for our nation because we saw her in her fully puffed up contempt for reality, respect and decency. The entire world saw that.

  1. She did an amazing job of sucking up to President Trump, declaring him “the greatest president in our nation’s history.” Everyone, even Trump’s supporters, knows that is utterly false under any definition of reality, but she sucked up that way just the same.
  2. She continuously displayed her world class arrogance that long ago earned her lifetime membership in the Mean Girls Club. Example: she made a big show of ignoring Democrats by shuffling through papers the entire time a Democrat was addressing her. That plus her snide attacks and more should earn her a contempt of Congress citation.
  3. She was masterful in not answering the questions of Democrats on the panel when their questions headed in a direction she didn’t like, which was nearly always. However, she made great eye contact with Republicans and floated into a dreamy place when answering their soft ball questions. Utterly useless answers. Utterly useless witness.
  4. She set a new bar in speaking extensively on issues and events having nothing to do with the point of the hearing or even vaguely relating to the questions she was asked, irrespective of the questions or questioners. Filibustering as an art form.

That was Bondi replying to an Epstein question, as survivors sat behind her ignored and dismissed by the A.G. and the entire Department of Justice. Yes, really.

On January 24 of this year Alex Pretti was using his rights as an American to protest ICE’s brutality to Minnesotans. Pretti had bent to help a woman who had been pepper sprayed directly in her face and eyes by an ICE agent when ICE agents grabbed him, threw him to the ground and six of them completely subdued him. We know this because we all have seen the videos, as has Bondi. We also saw two of the ICE goons draw their guns and shoot and kill unarmed, subdued, passive Mr. Pretti 10 times. In his back.

Within minutes both Trump and the puppy murderer Kristi Noem declared to the public that Mr. Pretti was a terrorist, that he was there to murder as many ICE agents as he could, that he was a clear and present danger, all in contradiction of what everyone saw.

Bondi, on the other hand, used the murder to attempt to extort voter information from Gov. Tim Walz (MN). Not a word of empathy for Pretti or those who cared about him. I guess as our highest law enforcement official she doesn’t care too much about Mr. Pretti or justice, the rule of law or democracy. indeed, she refused to look at or acknowledge the Epstein survivors seated behind her, even when invited to do so. How does it happen that some are completely without empathy?

For at least the past year Bondi has worked hard to cover up the crimes and the identities of the Epstein pedophile players. She has continuously suppressed evidence and lied about it. She has directly violated the law by displaying the names of victims and has covered up the names of Epstein’s co-conspirators, the child rapists and traffickers. She is effectively an accomplice after the fact in the crimes of pedophilia, trafficking of girls as young as 9 years old and the rest. Instead of being our nation’s chief enforcer of justice, she is our chief cover up criminal, second only to Donald Trump.

Just another day in the Trump Administration

Paraphrasing what was said long ago about Richard Nixon, when Bondi was a little girl and her little girlfriends (assuming she had any) were getting Christmas gifts of dolls and cute stuffed animals, Bondi was given a briefcase. And she liked it.

Just another day in the Trump Administration – Again
.

President Donald Trump has been claiming that he stopped eight wars, but The Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette published a fine report issued by the Associated Press that sussed out the reality of Trump’s claim. Do read the piece, but to save you some time, the jury is back with a “nuh-uh.”

There were some clashes about which he couldn’t keep his mouth shut, but Trump didn’t end any of them.

He claims he strong armed India and Pakistan to stop their clash over the Kashmir region that has been ongoing for over 79 years. But India says that he didn’t do anything but flap his lips meaninglessly and that the conflict isn’t settled. So much for stopping eight wars.

Karoline Leavitt admonishing reporters who just don’t get it that up is down.

Venezuela opposition leader María Corina Machado presented Trump her Nobel Peace Prize medal. But the Nobel Institute says, “[o]nce a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others.” That means that it’s still Machado’s, regardless of whose small hands are on it.

Of course, the Nobel Institute’s rules won’t stop Trump from falsely claiming he won a Nobel Peace Prize for – what else? – stopping eight wars.

White House Press Secretary and official mean girl liar, Karoline Leavitt, has exploded with phony hyperbole over this, keeping this Trump lie ongoing, just like the rest of them.

Satire So Real

From Andy Borowitz, Feb. 10:

[Trump] remained bitter about the Super Bowl halftime show, telling reporters that “Bad Bunny took a job away from an American bunny.”
